Representative Austin Business Men
There is no place like home to buy anything you need in any line. Home trading is the secret of the success of all thriving communities. To make Austin one of the busiest places on earth it is only necessary that wealth be kept within this district. Don’t send money away from your neighborhood. Spend it here at home with local merchants. Your neighbor’s prosperity adds to community wealth and boosts business opportunities. Read advertisements of local merchants in the Vindicator and buy from them. Don’t aid centralization of capital but patronize home industry for Austin’s prosperity. (Continued on page 2.)
